Although many people quote scripture in order to justify the abuse of animals, their claims have no basis in fact. This book shows that such claims contradict the Bible's message of God's love and concern for all creatures. Written in an easy- to-read style, the author shows that it is man, not God, who decided that animal beings are of less value than human beings.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Although this book is reader-friendly it is also profound in its understanding that the kind of human/animal relatedness that was ordained by God at the time of creation has been perverted by mankind. And as long as people continue to treat God's other creatures as "things" that can be tormented and killed to satisfy their own greed and lusts, they will continue to reap the effects of such violence in their own lives: "Be not deceived, God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap" -- Humane Religion, Vol 3, # 2, 1998
Page after page is filled with scriptural support of humane animal treatment. Highly recommended for everyone, regardless of religious belief, who is tired of people using the Bible to condone cruelty to animals. -- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), PETA Catalog

From the Back Cover
From the time of Creation to the time of Christ, the Bible testifies to God's love and concern for animal life. The scriptures tell a story of the human failure to fulfill the role that God assigned--the role of compassionate caregiver for nonhuman creatures. And the same self-centeredness that led to the violence and abuse that has marked human relations also caused the abuse and exploitation of animals. The Bible calls upon human beings to stop their violence and their abuse of each other, and of all other creatures.

A beautiful little book on God's perfect creations,

This review is from: The Slaughter of Terrified Beasts: A Biblical Basis for the Humane Treatment of Animals (Paperback)
I see the same exact negative reviews have been posted here word for word just like they were for Andrew Linzey's books. And we call animals dumb. Anyway, this is a wonderful little primer for those just begining to search out the Biblical truths of God's all-encompassing love and compassion for His creatures, firmly grounded in scriptural theology that is irrefutable to the logical, common-sense mind. Other books may be more detailed, but this is a great first place to start.

This review is from: The Slaughter of Terrified Beasts: A Biblical Basis for the Humane Treatment of Animals (Paperback)
This small book is a giant contributor in our reletions with other living, feeling, conscious beings. We are not alone, although, humans live as if they are the only species on earth, as if other animals don't feel pain or are capable of suffering. This book rises your awareness about saintient beings and sees all animals, human and non-human alike as equals, with respect and nonviolence. Absolutely magnificent. I recomend it to every body, especially, religious people of all and any religion.Alfredo Kuba
